Home away from home during
the nesting season, a bamboo
platform-suspendedby vines
from the roof-provides living
quarters for the half dozen
climbers of Taluk Cave. Each
man is assigneda sleeping
area, shielded by a screen
(and sometimes decorated by
a pinup). Karia,the cook,
preparesfishfor dinner.
Sahat's granddaughter,
Diana, visited for a while at
Rimau Cave. Without their
own families to cheer them,
the men at Saka Cave pass the
time watching a soccer match
on a battery-powered TV.
